ABSTRACT: This study Investigated the Role of Early Childhood Education in Disaster Response Preparedness. The objectives of this study were to: (1) investigate the role of early childhood education (ECE) programs in promoting disaster response preparedness among young children and families, (2) assess the effectiveness of disaster education activities in teaching emergency preparedness and safety skills, and (3) determine the long-term effects of disaster preparedness education on community resilience and recovery. A survey research design was chosen to gather comprehensive data from educators, parents, and disaster management experts about their experiences with disaster preparedness education in ECE settings. A sample size of 160 participants, including preschool teachers, parents, and disaster response professionals, was selected using purposive sampling to ensure representation from disaster-prone areas in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The case study was conducted in early childhood education centers known for their proactive approaches to teaching disaster preparedness and safety measures. Findings indicated that ECE programs significantly improved children's and families' preparedness for disasters, enhancing safety awareness and emergency response skills. It is recommended that early childhood education centers continue to prioritize disaster preparedness education, collaborate with local authorities for training and resources, and involve families in emergency drills to promote effective disaster response and community resilience.
